Frequent mitotic errors in tumor cells of genetically micro-heterogeneous glioblastomas
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by intratumoral heterogeneity as to both histomorphology and genetic changes, displaying a wide variety of numerical chromosome aberrations the most common of which are monosomy 10 and trisomy 7. Moreover, GBM in vitro are known to have variable karyotypes within a given tumor cell culture leading to rapid karyotype evolution through a high incidence of secondary...
